This I am enabled to do bysimply lifting the sash as usual, the sash b and runners d (1 remainingin their longitudinal relation because of the V-shaped meeting surfaces.Should I, however, desire to clean the outside of the windows, I amenabled to do so without danger by turning the sash pivotally, and toenable the sash to thus he turned I simply press upon the sash at apoint distant from the pivotal pins, so that the inclined edges of thesash, engaging the correspondingly-inclined edges of the runners, forcethe inside sections of the runner pivotally outwardly or toward theframe, this movement being permitted by the springs it within therunner. The sash may be again closed with greatest ease, as may beunderstood.

I am aware that various modifications from my construction thuspositively described may be made or employed without departing from thespirit or scope of my invention, and consequently I do not wish to beunderstood as limiting myself by the positive expressions employed aboveexcept as the state of the art may require.

Having thus described the invention, what I claim as new is 1. Thecombination with the frame a, of metallic runners each made intelescopic sections one of said sections being provided with a pin whichextends through the other section into the sash, substantially as setforth.

2. The combination with the frame, of a sectional runner, one section ofwhich slides within the other, said runner-sections sliding together insaid frame and providing a pivot on which the sash may be pivoted,substantially as set forth.

3. The combination with a frame having runner-ways betweenparting-strips, of sectional runners arranged in said ways, one of thesections of each of which is provided with pins upon which springs arearranged, the central of said pins being extended through the othersection to provide a pivot for the sash, the said sash and therunner-section next adjacent thereto being'provided with correspondinginclines to hold the said parts normally in longitudinal engagement,substantially as set forth.

4. The combination with the metallic frame having parting-strips makingvertical slideways, of sectional metallic runners arranged in saidslideways and having shaped inner faces and inwardly-projecting pivotalpins, and metallic sashes arranged on said pivotal pins and havingcorrespondingly-shaped 0pposite side edges fitting the shaped faces ofthe runners, and springs arranged between the sections of the runnerpermitting of a movement of one of the sections away from the sash whenthe latter is turned pivotally, substantially as set forth.

5. The combination with the frame providing vertical slideways, ofsectional runners arranged in said slideways, one of the sections ofeach of said runners being provided with pins g, g, springs arranged onsaid pins and normally tending to throw said sections apart, a centralpivotal pin fastened upon one section of each runner and extendingtherefrom into the sash, a cord-holder also fastened on a section ofeach of said runners, and a sash engaging said runners and held by thepivotal pins thereof, substantially as set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand this13th day of May, 1902.
